After folding the origami in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the bottom corner up to align with the center.

Then, fold the bottom edge up along the horizontal crease to form a triangle.

Fold the top corner down to the point where the color changes, and turn the paper over.

Fold the left and right bottom edges toward the vertical center crease, then fold the two top edges so they align just slightly outside the center line.

Fold the two top corners down, and fold the tip up so it sticks out slightly at the top.

Finally, fold the bottom corner up, draw patterns and a face with a pen, and you’re done.

Here’s an idea for making cosmos flowers with paper cutting.

Fold a piece of origami paper into a triangle three times to create crease lines, then unfold it back to the state of being folded once.

Fold the bottom edge on the right to line up with the leftmost crease, and fold the bottom edge on the left to line up with the center crease.

Fold the remaining right section along its crease, and fold again along the next remaining crease to stack the paper.

Draw petal lines and cut them out.

When you open it, you’ll have an 8-petal flower.

Slightly overlap the spaces between the petals by folding them, and place a yellow round sticker in the center.

Finally, curve the tips of the petals to give it a three-dimensional finish.

After folding the origami in half twice to make a small square, place the center of the origami facing down and use scissors to round off the left and right corners.

Open the origami, make slits, then bring the four corners to the center and glue them—this completes the persimmon fruit part.

For the calyx, use 7.5 cm origami paper.

Fold it into a triangle twice and open it, then fold it into a small square like the fruit and cut off both side corners.

Open the paper, fold the four corners toward the center, then fold them back and create a stepped fold.

Pinch the corners while pressing toward the center to hollow out the middle of the paper.

Finally, glue it to the fruit, and it’s complete.

After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up.

Fold the top corner down to meet the center, flip the paper over, and fold the top edge down so that it aligns just above the horizontal crease.

Open it after folding the top left and right edges to match the vertical creases, then valley-fold along the diagonal creases created at the top while collapsing the paper to form the squirrel’s ears.

Flip the paper over and make two roll folds on the bottom corner.

Make a pleat fold at the center of the paper to separate the head and body, then flip it over.

Cut a slit to separate the top left single layer of the pleated section, fold the left and right sides toward the central crease, and shape the tail using the separated section to finish.

Cut a sheet of origami paper into four equal strips (tanzaku) with scissors and separate them.

You’ll use only three, so set one aside for another craft.

Fold each of the three pieces in half vertically, then in half horizontally, in that order.

For just one of the three pieces, cut along the crease made by the horizontal fold to split it in two.

Take one of these halves, fold it so its length is halved, and round off the corner on the side where the layers are not connected.

Insert the remaining uncut piece between the others, and make a matching curved cut slightly above the first curve.

Cut the remaining two pieces in the same way, staple them together at the base, and then fan open the layers—the shape will look like a maple leaf.

Let’s make a candy-shaped wrapping box that can hold a small gift.

First, crease the origami paper finely, then roll it into a tube and twist one end to shape it like a candy.

Make two identical pieces and overlap the tube sections to complete the wrapping box.

It may seem difficult, but as long as you carefully do the creasing steps, it comes together in no time—give it a try! If you use Halloween-colored origami and draw a ghost face, you’ll have a box perfect for Halloween.

Seventh Song – RADWIMPS

After folding the origami paper into a triangle twice to crease it, open it up and fold the top corner down to the center.

Turn the paper over, fold the bottom corner up to the center, then make another valley fold.

Turn the paper over again, and fold the top edges inward from both sides so they meet along the vertical crease.

Fold up the sections sticking out from both sides of the triangle, tuck the left and right corners inward, and shape it into a chestnut to finish.

Draw patterns on the white part of the origami and use it as a piece for wall decorations or as a little accent in your crafts.
